The VP debate…

Well….running really late on this one today since I have been quite busy with stuff around here and I don’t really feel that hot…forgot to take some painkillers before the bike ride and now everything hurts…but, that’s not what this one is about….I didn’t watch much of the VP debate last night since I went out to have a couple instead and I really am getting tired of politics right now. But, I did read the analysis on all of the news sources this morning and came away with one thing…that Pence is just as big a liar as Trump…with one site showing that over 70% of what Pence said were lies…right in line with the Donald who did the same in his debate…and I do have to fault Tim Kaine for not calling him on the biggest one…that the Trump foundation and the Clinton foundation are equal…as you’ve read here, the Trump foundation is nothing but an illegal slush fund that Donald uses as his personal piggybank while the Clinton foundation uses almost 90% of what they collect to help people around the world…almost half a billion and counting. One thing that did happen is that ole Pence did start to throw Trump under the bus by trying to make the debate all about Pence…and the Donald was a little irritated about that…poor baby….one thing I wish Kaine would have done is to highlight the core of hatred for women that Pence has and his record of promoting discrimination against the LGBT community…really easy hits that should have bee made…geez…

I had reservations…

Well…with the pick of Tim Kaine for Hillary’s VP, I had my reservations that the pick was a good one…but, just listening to Tim give a speech right now, I will say many of those reservations are gone…not just from the speech but from all of the articles that have been written about him in the past day….and the differences between the two parties could not be more stark…the repubs were all hate all the time during their convention while the dems are all about hope, hope to make the US a better and more accepting place for all of our citizens….and you can bet there won’t be a plank in our platform that proposes discrimination against anyone….it appears that we progressives are going to move this country forward…at least I can hope….
